hydrocarbon
solvents,
refined
petroleum products and most common
alcohols

NOTE: If application is by brush or roller, additional coats will be necessary to achieve the minimum DFT and full opacity
SURFACE Steel: Round off all rough welds, sharp edges and remove weld spatter. Remove grease, oil and other contaminants in
PREPARATION accordance with AS1627.1. Dulux® recommends that surfaces be degreased with Gamlen CA No. 1 (a free-rinsing,
alkaline detergent) according to the manufacturer’s written instructions and all safety warnings. Abrasive blast clean to a
minimum of AS1627.4 Class 2.5 with a blast profile of 40-70 microns.
APPLICATION Mix each can thoroughly using a power mixer until the contents are uniform. Mix the contents of both packs together
thoroughly using a power mixer and allow to stand for 10 minutes. Remix thoroughly before application.
BRUSH/ROLLER Apply even coats of the mixed material to the prepared surface. Thin if necessary with up to 50 ml/litre with Dulux® Epoxy
Thinner (920-08925) or Dulux® Duthin 450 (920-81942) to ease application. When brushing and rolling additional coats
may be required to attain the specified thickness.
CONVENTIONAL Thin up to 125ml/litre with Dulux® Epoxy Thinner (920-08925) or Dulux® Duthin 450 (920-81942) to aid atomisation.

Graco Delta Gun
Pressure at Pot:
Pressure at Gun:
1.8mm (239543)
70-100 kPa (10-15 p.s.i.)
380-410 kPa (55-60 p.s.i.)
AIRLESS SPRAY Standard airless spray equipment such as a Graco President 30:1 ratio with a fluid tip of 15 thou (0.38mm) and an air
supply capable of delivering 550-690 kPa (80-100 p.s.i.) at the pump. Thinning is not normally required but up to 50
ml/litre of Dulux® Epoxy Thinner (920-08925) may be added to ease application.
PRECAUTIONS This is an industrial product designed for use by experienced Protective Coating applicators. Where conditions may
require variation from the recommendations on this Product Data Sheet contact your nearest Dulux® representative for
advice prior to painting. Do not apply in conditions outside the parameters stated in this document without the express
written consent of Dulux® Australia. Freshly mixed material must not be added to material, which has been mixed for
some time. Do not apply at temperatures below 10°C. Do not apply at relative humidity above 85% or when the surface
is less than 3°C above the dewpoint. Use of fast or low temperature hardeners may result in a reduction of gloss level.
CLEAN UP Clean all equipment with Dulux® Epoxy Thinner (920-08925) or Dulux® Duthin 450 (920-81942) immediately after use.
OVERCOATING Remove oil, grease, dirt and other surface contaminants. Test adhesion of existing coating by standard cross hatch
adhesion test. If the coating fails, remove it. High-pressure water wash at 8.3 to 10.3 MPa (1,200-1,500p.s.i.) to remove
chalk and dust. Abrade to remove gloss and provide a key for the new coating. Epoxies must be abraded if recoated
outside the recoat window.
SAFETY Read Data Sheet, SAFETY DATA SHEET and any precautions on container labels. SAFETY DATA SHEET is
PRECAUTIONS available from Customer Service (132377) or www.duluxprotectivecoatings.com.au
STORAGE Store as required for a flammable liquid Class 3 in a bunded area under cover. Store in well-ventilated area away from
sources of heat or ignition. Keep containers closed at all times.
HANDLING As with any chemical, ingestion, inhalation and prolonged or repeated skin contact should be avoided by good
occupational work practice. Eye protection approved to AS1337 should be worn where there is a risk of splashes
entering the eyes. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet.
USING Use with good ventilation and avoid inhalation of spray mists and fumes. If risk of inhalation of spray mists exists, wear
combined organic vapour/particulate respirator. When spraying, users must comply with their respective State Spray
Painting Regulations.
FLAMMABILITY This product is flammable. All sources of ignition must be eliminated in, or near the working area. DO NOT SMOKE.
Fight fire with foam, CO2 or dry chemical powder. On burning will emit toxic fumes.
